Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Astoria | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: In 10 ft of silstone, about 17 ft above base of exposed section. Unknown member. Astoria Formation has been used as a name for almost all of the marine middle Miocene sedimentary rocks of Washington and Oregon although these correlations are poorly constrained. The formation has been divided into three members: a lower sandstone, a shale, and an upper sandstone. These rocks form the northern limb of a syncline, the asis of which is exposed east of Astoria, and the syncline trends NE and plunges to the SW. The Astoria Formation is intermittently exposed; theya re faulted and exposures are interupted by volcanic rocks and slides. The maximum thickness of any exposure is 25 feet. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | poorly lithified calcareous siltstone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: In 10 ft of silstone. Strata exposed consist shale varying in silt and sand content, siltstone, fine-grained sandstone with varying amounts of silt, coarse-grained sandstone, conglomerate, and tuff. Calcareous silty shale and fine-grained silty sandstone generally predominate. | |
| Environment: | coastal indet. |
| Geology comments: Astoria Formtaion is faulted and interupted in exposure by volcanic rocks and land slides. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body,concretion,replaced with other |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection excludes: | some macrofossils |
| Collection methods: | salvage,selective quarrying,surface (float),field collection,survey of museum collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
| Museum repositories: | CAS,USNM |
| Collection method comments: Collected by E.J. Moore, 1952. Collections reside in the Californian Academy of Sciences, the U.S. National Museum, and presumably the USGS. | |
| Taxonomic list comments:Exhaustive for mollusca | |
